Welcome to your weekly dose of TOO x TOO \u2013 Featuring H&M close the loop, John Lewis’ virtual Christmas, Damien Hirst’s shark infested suite and Sachi Tungare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H&M Close the Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Looop machine, currently operating in H&M\u2019s Stockholm flagship \u2013 has the ability to upcycle old knitwear into new pieces in just five hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoppers can choose for their old knitwear pieces to be remade into either a women\u2019s jumper, a baby blanket or scarf. Once inside the machine, old garments are shredded into fibres and then spun into new yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this initiative, H&M aims to close the loop on its product\u2019s life cycles, while also instilling an appreciation for textiles and garments in its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the new garments are made to order as customers wait, so there is no overproduction. The brand is currently working on upgrading the technology to accept a wider range of materials and expand the available garment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Lewis\u2019 Virtual Christmas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a slightly different Christmas expected for many this year, the John Lewis Partnership is preparing for its \u2018most virtual Christmas to date\u2019. The brand have unveiled plans to host more than 100 experiences designed to help people navigate the festive season from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events include virtual make-up masterclasses, fashion advice, tips on how to prepare a Christmas feast and inspiration for the perfect festive wrapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waitrose have also announced their four-day \u201cVirtual food and drink festival\u201d to replace its annual \u201cDrinks festival\u201d. The ticketed event will take place from 12 November and will include an additional 40 events around wine, tastings and cocktail demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin George, customer director at Waitrose & Partners, said: \u201cThis event is unlike anything we\u2019ve ever done before and replaces our annual Drinks Festival, which we can\u2019t hold in person this year due to the pandemic. We\u2019re thrilled to be offering customers the very best of Waitrose in a virtual celebration of food and drink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damien Hirst\u2019s shark infested suite<\/strong>\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharks suspended in formaldehyde, oversized pills and a cantilevered outdoor pool overlooking the Las Vegas Strip all await guests at the Palms Casino Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed by Hirst, the suite has everything you could ever need with numerous lounges that can fit over 50 people, massage rooms, a salt relaxation room, a gym, two bathrooms and a powder room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Ranging from $25,000 (\u00a318,969) to $50,000 (\u00a337,938) per night, the suites are some of the most expensive accommodation options in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Palms reopened last year following extensive renovation work, which involved adding art by names including Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One man\u2019s trash is another\u2019s treasure\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For her most recent project, Indian designer Sachi Tungare collected five kilograms of cigarette butts by hand to create her collection of multi-coloured bowls, lamp shades and vases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented as part of the Rethinking Plastic programme<\/a> at Dutch Design Week<\/a>, the series consists of 10 objects, each made from around 300 cigarette filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to draw attention to the little-known fact that cigarette stubs are the most commonly littered item in the world, with 4.5 trillion of them discared into the environment every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was also a way to gauge the knowledge about this particular kind of waste in the minds of the general public,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
